background and objectives: the genus johrenia belongs to umbelliferae family and contains five species that are endemic to iran. johrenia paucijuga grows widely in the north-west, west and center of iran. so far, there has been no research about phytochemistry of j. paucijuga. in the present study, phytochemicals of the plants have been isolated and their structures have been elucidated. method...

Phytochemical screening of various fractions of Datura alba showed bioactive secondary metabolites based on microbial and antioxidant activities. n-Hexane fraction showed a significant activity against three selected bacterial strains; Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus while other isolated fraction showed moderate activity. The ethyl acetate (88.89 %) and methan...

Tanacetum santolinoides, Essential Oil Composition, n-Hexane-Ether Extract Composition The essential oil of the aerial parts of Tanacetum santolinoides was analyzed by capillary GLC and GLC-MS. Altogether 30 components were identified. The main constituents were thymol (18%), trans-thujone (17.5%), trans-chrysanthenyl acetate (13.2%), cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (9.2%), umbellulone (9.7%) and 1,8...

Phytochemical investigations on the stem bark and roots of the tropical shrub Clausena anisata led to the isolation and characterization three carbazole alkaloids: girinimbine, murrayamine-A and ekeberginine; two peptide derivatives: aurantiamide acetate and N-benzoyl-L-phenylalaninyl-N-benzoyl-L-phenylalaninate; and a mixture of two phytosterols: sitosterol and stigmasterol. The structures of ...

We have produced a chloroform extract from Achillea which includes stigmasterol and sitosterol. By comparing it with the pure compounds an anti-inflammatory effect (with mouse ears) is assumed. The topical anti-inflammatory effect of the chloroform extract from Achillea ageratum (Asteraceae) and of stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol, isolated of this extract has been evaluated, against to 12-0-te...

Capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) separations of plant sterols and related esters were evaluated under various conditions. Stationary phases included octadecylsilica (C18) and triacontylsilica (C30). Mobile phases comprised acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane buffers in aqueous or non-aqueous systems. Apart from notable differences in component resolution, b...

Purwoceng (Pimpinella pruatjan) is an Indonesian native plant but difficult to cultivate. Hydroponics can be used as a solution for purwoceng cultivation. Hydroponic types and nutrient concentrations affect purwoceng’s productivity. This study aimed determine total phenolic content (TPC) flavonoid (TFC), changes in steroid, antioxidant capacity due two hydroponic (nonrecirculating recirculating...

Beaumontia grandiflora Wall. (Apocynaceae) is an ornamental plant cultivated in Egypt. Investigation of the chemical constituents of the aerial parts of B. grandiflora Wall. in pet. ether extract led to isolation and identification of twelve fatty acids in which linoleic acid (29.60%) and Palmitic acid (19.12%) are the main acids. The unsaponifiable fraction was found to contain a series 14 27 ...

The yield of Aspergillus niger mycelium from a synthetic medium can be increased by the addition of microgram quantities of cholesterol, ergosterol, cholestanol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, pregnenolone, and the vitamins D. The stimulation is not due to degradation to the acetate level. It is obtained only in highly aerated cultures. The rate of growth of Torula utilis was n...

Trong nghiên cứu này, thành phần hóa học của cao chiết ethyl acetate từ thân và lá cây ba chẽ đã được cứu. Mẫu nguyên liệu khô được nghiền nhỏ, sau đó bằng phương pháp ngấm kiệt với methanol thu thô. Cao chiết thô phân tán trong nước và thực hiện quá trình lỏng- lỏng dung môi nhằm acetate. tách sắc ký trên cột silica gel Sephadex LH20. Kết quả lập bốn hợp chất sạch. Dựa vào dữ phổ 1H-NMR 13C-NM...
